Abstract: | Prostate carcinoma (PCa) is the second most common cancer in Sri Lankan males aged above 65 year (1). Though PCa is usually identified incidentally yet it can present with lower urinary tract symptoms, haematuria or back pain. The common sites of PCa metastasis are bones and regional lymph nodes but it can also spread to lung, liver and brain. We present a case of PCa presenting with a painful neck lump. |
